Function Description
 This feature enables the BSC to adjust the transmit power of the BTS
according to the link quality of the Um interface. In this way, the desirable
link quality can be ensured without requiring the maximum power on the
PDCH. The reduced transmit power of the BTS helps decrease the
interference in the network and lower the power consumption of the BTS.

 This feature lowers the BTS transmit power without compromising the link
quality. In this way, the network interference and power consumption can
be reduced, while the system capacity can be increased.

power control.

Channel used for the measured receiving power. It is

PCMEASCHAN SET GCELLPSPWPARA PDCH BCCH used to set the measured receiving power level of the
channel and control the power of the uplink.

Threshold for the times of coding scheme adaptation

(measurement period in which the stability of a code
scheme can be determined). That is, the coding
MCSSTATTHR SET GCELLPSPWPARA None 10
scheme stability can be determined only when the
times of coding scheme adaptation is equal to this
parameter.
Threshold for the times of using current coding scheme
in a measurement period. This parameter is used to
determine whether the coding scheme is stable. When
MCSSTABTHR SET GCELLPSPWPARA None 8
the number of using the current coding scheme in a
measurement period is equal to this parameter, the
coding scheme is stable.

Lowest coding scheme (with 8PSK used) to start

downlink power control. If the current coding scheme is
DLPCSTARTTHR SET GCELLPSPWPARA None MCS9 equal to or higher than this parameter, downlink power
control can be started. Downlink power control is not
required when EGPRS GMSK is applied.

Initial attenuation value of the transmit power for other

DLPCINITPR SET GCELLPSPWPARA None DB0 channel relative to the maximum BCCH transmit power
for PS downlink power control.

Parameter Command Comment
Value Value
Position corresponding to the target CIR in the value
range for the specified coding scheme, that is, the delta
TGTCIRPOS SET GCELLPSPWPARA None 3
between the target CIR and the minimum value in the
value range.

Maximum offset of the target CIR. This parameter,

TGTCIROFFSET SET GCELLPSPWPARA None 2 together with target CIR, is used to determine the value
range of the target CIR.

MAXPCSTEP SET GCELLPSPWPARA None 1 Maximum step size of power control

This parameter indicates the minimum granularity of

PSPCPRES SET GCELLPSPWPARA None 0.6dB
BTS output power during PS downlink power control.

Set the power reduce granularity for the Dummy control

blocks with reserved Uplink State Flag (USF). When the
DummyPRGran SET GCELLPSPWPARA None 15
parameter is set to 0, power control is not performed on
the Dummy control blocks with reserved USF.

Set the power reduce granularity for the Dummy control

blocks with valid USF. When the parameter is set to 0,
USFDummyPCFactor SET GCELLPSPWPARA None 3
power control is not performed on the Dummy control
blocks with valid USF.

 Performance Anticipating & Indicator
 General KPI is the key needed to closely monitor at.
 We will pay more attention to CS quality(HQI) and PS data
throughput, it may improve slightly.
 These two counter need to be enabled for monitoring the feature
